Questions & Answers

Hello from Utah

I'm just getting started on my barefoot journey. A few friends around the office started wearing Vibrams for running and every day use last year, and I was intrigued. I'm an active basketball and ultimate frisbee player, but general knee pain has always kept me from doing any serious distance running.

I'm hopeful that my FiveFingers will help me change my stride enough to let me get into distance road running without tearing my knees to shreds. I literally started running in them today for the first time. The plan (fingers crossed) is to train for the Wasatch Back edition of the Ragnar this June. Bring it on!

Welcome to the freer life of minimalist footwear :-) Best of luck in the Wasatch Back. That race is on my 'to do' list. Make sure that you transition slowly... there is a lot of great information on transitioning to minimalist footwear, but I'm sure you've seen some of it.
